These Dry Erase boards are a hit!

Gabby drew a picture of me. LOL!!!






I try to keep things on hand for when our daily activities end earlier than expected. Today was one of those days. Everything was going well. We read Little Red Riding Hood and colored pictures of the characters. We sang songs and danced~played dress up with hats and shoes... After their naps, I let them go out in the back yard to play with the miniature sand boxes that I had made a while back. Everything went well until Jaden stepped in a fire ant pile!!! I brought everyone in and treated Jaden for her bites. Then, I brought out these dry erase boards. The 4 year old's got the ABC ones, and the younger kids got the numbers. That kept them busy for a while, and I ran back and forth around the table trying to help each one with whichever letter or number they were working on.

Ouch! I remember distinctly jumping off a swing and landing in a red ant nest when I was about 3. I think it was about 5 years before I ever jumped off a swing again!
